To finish the finger loop, if you are lucky like me, and your loop pattern is perfect sized for this, then you just wrap the leather around the loop, starting on one side of the leather ring. Wrap it until you can put the leather end to end. Then I use a rubber band to hold the leather in place as I move on. I used 3 rubber bands to hold the shape. Then you use a sewing awl to do what I think is called a whip stitch to close it up. Then I tie some constrictor knots to cover any loose ends, and to cover ugly loose ends of leather. And it is done! This one took a couple days to make, while trying to think of what pictures to take, and when. I wish I would have taken more. If this stirs intrest, I will do a more inclusive tutorial with more precise measurements, and better descriptions.

Haha, that is actually almost the exact size of this one. I will have to measure it now that it is finished. I would consider trading this bad boy for a glandes mold haha Grin or possibly something else. I just don't want a spanking for posting anything else in the trading post Wink I was truly shocked how perfect my existing finger loop form was for this stitched loop

I got these colors, plus the two used on the sling, oh and it is 26 1/2" on the dot, but I don't think I'll part with this bad boy. Even though the braids aren't the best I am liking how it feels, after today's test throws.

Thanks man, I still think yours is a work of art, once I get my braids more uniform I might try some more traditional materials as well. I love that look. Oh do you need a pc to post multiple pics per message? I have one, but use my phone here for the most part.

To the side of the text box there's Attachments and a box with a plus sign in it. If you click the box it adds more rows to add attachments.
